Yes, today I went to the park with my cousins child, my aunt and my mother. I thought to myself that I’m completely alienated from what it is to be normal. I’m in a different world. What’s scary is that I don’t know how to come back. Meds give me the opportunity to act normal, but what’s behind all that is complete madness.

Ok. A bit of tough talking here.

That’s a symptom of mental illness. And you’re not being treated for it. You’re only on 2mg of Abilify or something.

You’ll have to face the facts that you’re getting worse and not better.

And that you’ll need appropriate treatment.

Do you mean you have issues with trusting people close to you?

Or are you talking about paranoia?

I don’t really feel comfortable talking about it but I do feel good that I was able to open up partially.

Thankyou for the questions though.

Practice makes perfect. Just get out there and don’t overthink everything. That is so sz to overthink everything and other people just aren’t doing that…so you do that and everything becomes a whole lot easier.

Just a thought.

Yeah i found practice might not make perfect in our case but it can help. I think to feel more like a person again we gotta make good routines and keep engaged with whatever freinds or family or mh teams we might have. But most of all to not allow defeat. Keep on trudging on, even though it might feel like wading through thick sticky mud at times. Sooner or later the light will shine forth again wether its just for a day. Itll still be worth it when it comes.

Thanks @rogueone and @Ozzyskits

I was sitting with my partner today not saying a word, she completely freaked out. I couldn’t talk and needed to explain myself somehow. I responded with an verbal outburst of anger but eventually we sorted us out. We got to the core of our problems.

I totally understand. I have my reality and then I am told what everyone else’s reality is and it’s so different from mine. It makes me feel completely crazy.

That’s a good way of putting it
